[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 2151053, member: 59677"]So nice to have somebody new show up and blow smoke out of his orifice... and painting everyone with one brush. The ANA is one of the oldest and largest numismatic organizations in the world, with over 20K members. Member's interests cover everything from pure numismatics to (unfortunately) flipping modern coin issues for $ (as if capitalism is some how evil by itself). The Numismatist is a highly respected journal tracing its history back to 1889 - and work is underway to make all of those issues available electronically (Yay!). Join ANA (money.org) and work to make things better from the inside. Now back to the OP... No, there is no way to submit to PCGS or NGC other than paying per coin. Whether you submit yourself or through a coin dealer, you pay per coin. You also pay shipping, handling and insurance both ways. Both companies offer several levels of submissions based on the turn-around time and value of the coin being evaluated. So you can submit at the 'economy' level for less $ but longer turn around time. As others have said, both organizations sell memberships and the higher levels cost more but include more 'coupons' for more 'free' submissions. So if you use all of your year's 'freebies' it's usually close to a wash. (the free ANA member tier at NGC comes with zero coupons).[/QUOTE]
